Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field say they will “strenuously” defend themselves after being sued by a former personal assistant, who claims he suffered sexual harassment while working for them. The celebrity pair said Gilles De Bonfilhs’ allegations are “entirely without foundation”. He launched legal action against the Angels singer and Ms Field over claims she sexually harassed him before he was fired, U.S. showbiz website TMZ reported.
The claims being made by a disgruntled former employee, after he was sacked for serious misconduct, are entirely without substance.
A spokeswoman for Williams
The U.S. actress, 35, is accused of walking around in various states of undress and asking her assistant to comment on her body. She also allegedly disclosed “information about the nature and frequency of her sexual activity,” according to court papers filed in Los Angeles. De Bonfilhs, who worked for the couple between October 2014 and January 2015, is suing both Williams, 41, and his wife, although there are no allegations listed against Williams in the lawsuit. He claims his contract was “wrongfully terminated” and is reportedly asking for damages in excess of $25,000 (£16,000). The couple married in 2010 and have two children.
